I'm still not sure the best way to go about posting updates for It Doesn't Matter, but I guess since I'm changing how I approach it, it might be easier, now! SO, IDM is a big, dumb, one-animator animation project, which is fine...except I actually really want to tell the damn STORY, and I'm dying at the slowness. SO! I'm gonna try something else.
I kiiinda was gonna do this in scene two (you can see where I started not actually animating, and then where I started again), but this time, I think I'm gonna COMMIT, with deadlines and everything. Eh, I'm way faster now, so it's suddenly possible. So instead of fully animating a shot each IDM week (or a scene, in animation language, because apparently it has to be cool and not use standard film language), I'm going to try to pump out a scene/sequence each month. We'll see how it goes, since this is A LOT more than just doing a shot in a week. Like, I've gotta do my sound editing, backgrounds, shot set-up, any extra character designs, and the more-limited-but-still-at-least-kinda-animated-work. So yeah! We'll see how it plays out! But I'm excited. Also I have a lot of nice, short scenes lined up ahead of me, so this could be manageable. Or I could die, whichever!
Anyway, Scene 5, which I completed last night (okay, I still have some sound design stuff to do...there's supposed to be gunshots from the AK-47s happening, and I haven't plonked them in, yet), is below!
